Sewing the seeds of retro: crocheted Atari 2600

Who said that grandma's skill set wasn't that useful? It's a custom crocheted Atari 2600, complete with two controllers, a game cartridge, and Pitfall on the screen. Amazing! These is exactly the sort of old school stuff we'd be filling our homes and offices up with if it was for sale in stores.
Now the real proof comes when someone knits us a next-gen system complete with a multiplayer game playing out on the crocheted screen in -- wait for it -- high definition. That'd be like a million lines of yarn or something. Better get to knitting before Super HDTV gets invented.
[Thanks, Mike]

I want one of these,but it would be nice if the person who made this made an xbox 360 replica.
Also if any one has a gamer tag on the 360 send me a friend invite. My gamertag is yours truly zmaster123.
